hi and welcome to the mighty T.C.
the ecotec has 11 bhp more than your 20se but the flywheel weighs a hell of a lot more than the carlton one AHAH i hear you cry ill use the carlton one!!!............no im afraid not the carlton uses a 6 bolt fixing the eco uses 8 also the eco is a royal pain in the bum to keep running well they tend to drop cam sensors at an alarming rate!!
instead look at the 20xe or c20xe these are 150 bhp more user friendly and no sensor issues the main drawback in using the xe is you will need the wiring loom lengthened a tad!! (and its better to get a later engine with the coil pack for clearance) not that ive ever considered doing this myself of course!!
hth!

Hello and Welcome like mr mad says the xe is much better than the ecowreck, of course you could always shoehorn a straight six in there  |
